review text: This paper records the finding of a manuscript of the Habilitationsvortrages (27 April 1857) of Rudolf Lipschitz (1832-1903), and assesses its value to our understanding of the development of number theory. Lipschitz confirms the views of Edwards and Neumann on the role of Fermat's last theorem, but surprisingly fails to credit, or indeed mention, the contributions of Eisenstein to reciprocity theory.
